Also, a question. Some of you non-religious (or anti-religious) types have probably dealt with drug/alcohol abuse in some form or another. Any advice? Our friend needs something that is not AA (waaaaay too religiously bent), but is still social. I'll be getting him a copy of The Small Book, but at the same time, RR sounds a bit, erm, loony, besides the fact that Whatshisname (Timpsey?) has disavowed support groups for alcoholism recovery, which in this case would be counter-productive.

For privacy, I'll screen any comments you chose to make. Thanks!

Why is monotony so exhausting? I've used heaps less energy today than I have in the past three days, and yet, all I want to do is lie down on the sofa and go to sleep. Mostly to avoid the monotony of the chores.

However, today marks the day that I take back control of this house and get it in order again. Leaving things to Geoff has been a disaster so, organized multi-tasker that I am (I certainly excel at it compared to Geoff), I will get this place in shape even if the monotony kills me.

( Digression )

But, without the monotony, there wouldn't be visible results. Like fresh baked bread. Or clean clothes. Or freshly made beds.

And at least I know that I can always escape for a little bit every day, if I need to, by coaxing Babe out (or following him) for a bike ride, frisbee throw or such.

But, but... can I just go play now? Please?
